It is a parody of "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga. The lyrics are told from the point of view of Gaga and describe her performance style and fashion sense. The song is the sixth single from Yankovic's 2011 album ''Alpocalypse'', and all the proceeds were donated to the Human Rights Campaign charity. Gaga herself has praised the work and has additionally described herself as a "Weird Al" fan. The song entered and peaked at number six on the Comedy Digital Tracks chart of ''Billboard'', remaining for a total of eight weeks. ==Development== Yankovic had already completed 11 songs for ''Alpocalypse'', but still felt the need for another song to be the lead single. As "Born This Way" was becoming more and more popular, he started to consider parodying it, but he became reluctant after hearing the song, considering that spoofing "such an earnest human rights anthem" could be in bad taste, and also because a Lady Gaga parody was "what everybody in the universe was already ''assuming'' I would do, and I hate to be so predictable". Then Yankovic came to the idea of doing the spoof about Gaga herself, as he thought it "wasn’t really going to offend anybody".〔 Yankovic then "worked around the clock to get the lyrics out" and interrupted a family vacation to record a demo that could be used to ask for Gaga's approval.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perform This Way」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
